## Description

.com          After variously celebrating their 30th anniversary with the star-studded The Ride, documenting their bracing live shows on Live at the Fillmore and doing a little intimate musical retrenchment on the self-released Acoustic En Vivo, Los Lobos returned to the studio with creative exploration on their minds. The result is their most sonically adventurous, thematically taut collection since the heady days of Kiko and Colossal Head. With lyrics penned mostly by multi-instrumentalist Louis Perez, the album's first-person narrative views a myriad of larger issues through slices of local life, from the immigrants' physical and spiritual travails of "The Valley" and "Hold On" to the liturgical grace of "Little Things" and the haunting impressionism of "The City." The musical tack is even more adventurous, a melange of diverse flavors that ranges from the infectious calo Spanglish patois of Cesar Rosa's "Chuco's Cumbia" and neo-norteno "The Road to Gila Bend" to the chunky r&b groove of "Don't Ask Why," the Caribbean-Latin fusion of "No Pueda Mas" and the shadowy, jazz reflectiveness of the "The Town." The Lobos blend it all into a compelling sonic landscape, one that's tamed the playful, psychedelic spirit of Perez and David Hidalgo's free-spirited Latin Playboys side project and focused it into a band context with rich rewards at every turn. -- Jerry McCulley

    East LA Sgt Peppers
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 22, 2006*

This is the deal.  I'd only amplify the previous positive reviews, which I admire:  great, great recording, and I'd also mention that the atmospherics, as my music pals call them, are more integrated here than on about any CD  I've heard in a very long while, maybe ever.  There is just stuff here that continually surprises you, and not in some obnoxious, "clever"  way.  It's all part of the portrait they're painting, the immigrant life In California.  Like the dab of yellow on a great painting that makes you see everything, except the dab of yellow.  It's the trigger.The Playing is explosive when necessary, subtle when appropriate.  Probably their strongest lyrics yet.  (I'm picky, because I have a book out  that deals with immigrant LA, the source of my own writer's inspiration.  They kick me real bad here, and for that I'm grateful.)The guitar performances are especially unbelievably fine.  Anyone who has heard "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the box set know that these guys can sound as if George Martin had run the guitar track backwards.  But they can run it real time.Man, what an accomplishment from los veteranos del Norte.  And, I say this as a listener for many years, there is NO BAND  better than Los Lobos.  Nobody.  Nowhere.  The Beatles of East LA.  Not a small accomplishment.  Amigos siempre.  Amigos de mi corazon.My Spanish sucks.  Forgive me, amigos.  Your record is the best of this and many years.

    Colossal band, one of their finest records
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2006*

Best band in the land and I need to correct my initial impression of this record.  I still don't care for a couple songs (Little Things, Hold On) but otherwise this is mostly top shelf Lobos.  No, it isn't quite the monster Kiko was but it's comparable to Colossal Head, another standout.  Where Colossal Head pushed the best tracks to the front Town & City is weighted at the back, almost everything from Gila Bend on.  There's the usual rich lyrics and the usual tasteful guitar playing.  The Lobos are superb blues purveyors with many different approaches, several of which grace this disk.  Rosas even dips into a little reggae.  One of the top albums of the aughts and one any Lobos fan should hear.

    An outstanding piece of musical composition
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2013*

Again, I am just getting into this band and discovering music that I ignored when it first came out. When I bought this i put it in my truck and listened as i went up to Oregon and back. Listened to this one over and over. These guys are writing very interesting music. It almost always rocks, usually rolls and always, always blows me away. My favorites are The Town,The City , the Valley, Road to Gila Bend - but they are all great. (Now I know why God invited diminished chords). People probably think it is weird to see this white guy geezer in a pick up truck blasting "Mexican" music, but i am into these days.
